[GUIDE] CWM Recovery Solution-Idea Blade - Blade General

Hello Mates,
Here I am posting the Way, Methods and Files to get rid of the problem arised with the latest recovery 5.0.2.0 in Idea Blades. I have found the way to solve it out through this thread thanks to Tetora.
The error will somehow as pasted below when You boot into recovery:
E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't find misc
E:failed to find "cache" partition to mount at "/cache"
Due to this error one can not do anything in recovery like backup, restore,wiping,flashing roms , etc. and which is very annoying. This happens because the CWM reject or failed to identify the root access of the device.
Even I have a headache on my birthday due to the problem. I have followed that thread (post above) posted by tetora and sorten out the problem.
Now I can flash, backup, restore and can do anything with the recovery
There are two methods to get the recovery Working:
1 . Through ADB
Attached is the file to flash via adb.. Please follow the steps given below (thanks to matt4321) :
The 'flash_image' is within the attached zip file! Use the file within the zip file, NOT the zip file itself
The 'recovery.img' is your chosen recovery file, get this off ClockworkMods website or if you have a copy use that. Then when flashing the recovery image where ever it says 'recovery.img' replace that with the name of the recovery file. following me?
Here's the instructions:
(make sure you're in the command prompt and have changed directory to where the adb file is)
adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/
adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
and then boot into recovery now everything should work perfectly.
A big thanks to tetora for finding the recovery image file and matt4321 for his commands
2. Through Recovery Manager:
Install the application Recovery Manager v0.37b.apk
Extract the image file from recovery zip and place in the SD card.
Open the application "Recovery Manager"
Go in recovery Tab to flash the recovery img. Once you select to "Flash Recovery" it will search the img file automatically.
After flashing recovery you are done.
Thanks to ramubhat for providing procedure and testing the same.
You can use this link for the second method.
Disclaimer- I will not responsible for any damage so use it at your risk
Don't worry there is no other options left apart from it and its 99% safe.

Can confirm this works, I've done it loads of times!
PS: thanks for the thanks

If you have used Z4root v2 (modded one) than it will aquire root in your cell. However if you are not sure then you can download the application "root check basic" from playstore to check whether you are rooted or not.

hmmmm does the issue mentioned in first post occur after sometime as I have the mentioned recovery flashed already on my Blade and so far never had an issue!!
Now what would be good is a touch version of the recovery being available for the Blade!

I came across this thread somedays ago to help one of my friend.
should u guys need to build a touch recovery, u can build it yourself from here.
http://builder.clockworkmod.com/
just put the stock or any other custom recovery image and build a touch recovery.
Although its written that the touch recovery works only on ICS kernel but I used it even on Froyo and GB kernel.
warning: do it at ur own risk

Flashing new recovery isnt working.

Hey, I am trying to successfully get a new ROM, and in all the forums and such I have read tell me that with the Desire Z/G2 I need to flash the newest ClockWorkMod recovery. So i have downloaded a couple different recovery .img files.
Now when i use Emulator, i put in;
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recoveryname.img
and it says
flash_image: not found
I dont understand why ROM Manager doesnt give the newest recovery file as an option.
Can anyone help me in this situation?
Thanks

Go back into terminal and try that command again.
ok so I installed root manager, and put the flash_image.zip in the system/bit, and tried it again with the terminal emulator, but i still have no results, it says after the pause when you plress enter after the flash_image prompt, your supposed to reboot the phone and it should start with the new recovery, but when i open ROM manager it staill shows V 2.5.... If i did somthing wrong i cant figure it out., Please help.

Follow these instructions. You can't go wrong. Make sure you back out of the app and go back in. It sets the cursor to the correct posistion. All you have to do is put the .img in the root of your sd. Hope this helps, it did for me.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
wait, so why aren't you just flashing the recovery through ROM manager? Are you trying to install CWR 3.0+?
yes I am trying to flash cwm 3.0, and it is not an option with ROM manager. I will try the Youtube instructions. Thanks
Ok so I tried the instructions with the Youtube video, and when i do the cmd promt in Terminal i get this;
Cant open device: "/dev/block/mmcblk0"
error in reading mbr!
failed with error: -1
I have the recovery.img file (not zip) on the sd card, I used root mamnager to put it in the bin file within system. but the instructions on the video say to use astro and it doesnt give an option to go as deep as root manager.
Thanks
Yes unzip it but make sure its in the root of your sd. That means not folders at all. That's the command that he is making in the video. I don't think you can flash cwm 3.0 in rom manager, only revert back to earlier recoveries, for froyo roms.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Make sure the file is named what your commanding it to be. Make sure its recovery.img no caps.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
OK so I am trying this too. I am putting the recovery image directly to the root of my sd and I can see that it's there. But in TE, I put in the commands and it tells me
flash_image: not found
It's there!!!! I can see it when I have my phone connected. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: I am running stock rooted. Does this have something to do with it?
Rooted running a stock rom? Honestly I can't tell you all I know is I'm running custom rom. If I had to guess I would say it doesn't. All I can say is I had issues until I watched the video, sorry I can't help more. Only thing I would say to do is wipe everything you did and try redoing it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I can say you should only have one .img in your sd to not confuse it. I'm pretty sure you can use command prompt on your pc if you have access to one.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Ok, I think I am getting somewhere, I was searching my sdcard on my computer, and I realised that the root of my sdcard is not called "sdcard" so in the command i was doing it wrong, It is called "HTC DESIRE" so i did it in Emulator and it worked i rebooted my phone in recovery and I am now rocking the new ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5...
Thanks all for the help, Hope what i discovered helps someone else.
Wait, Wait, Wait... I just screwed it up again... I went into ROM Manager after I successfully flashed 3.0.0.5. and it was not showing that in ROM Manager, so I tapped on flash latest recovery, and damnit... it replaced all my hard work with the 2.5 recovery... I have tried to repeat the flash process a few times with 3.0, and i have not been successful... Help... I dont know what to do now!!!
Instead of flashing the recovery in rom manager, after you've inputted the
su
# flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img
you can just type in after it
# reboot recovery
and it will reboot you into CWM 3.0. Be sure to perform a nandroid backup under 2.2 first and when you want to go back to a froyo rom, you'll have to flash the 2.5 recovery image again.
Yes, you will not see it in rom manager. Just reboot into the recovery and if you see orange and cwm 3.0 your good. Just repeat the steps.

"flash_image: not found" means that you do not have the 'flash_image' binary installed. Follow the guide here to get 'flash_image' installed on your device (the 'flash_image' binary is attached).
As for why ROM Manager not giving the newest recovery as an option, ROM Manger isn't fully compatible with the latest recovery as it just came out. The latest recovery (I'm assuming you're referring to v3.x) is only for Gingerbread based ROM's, if you're trying to install a Froyo based ROM then you should be using recovery version 2.x.

As you are rooted, you could flash recovery using terminal on the phone.
install terminal and Superuser from market
download CWM recovery 3.0.2 from Kalims' thread and place it in root of your sdcard
download flash_image to root of your sdcard
enter following commands in terminal
Code:
su
cp /sdcard/flash_image /data/local/flash_image
cd /data/local
chmod 04755 flash_image
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_3.2.0.1.img

Try this
Do u have Universal Androot still installed on ur phone? If its there, then re-root with it and launch ROM Manager immediately after that. Flash recovery TWICE. The new CWM has problems flashing in 1st go.
And secondly, if u are on stock ROM, before updating recovery, always re-root with Androot. Because after every reboot, the tattoo_hack.ko module gets unloaded from the memory if you used Universal Androot on stock ROM.
Things to know while rooting stock ROM:
1. HTC Tattoo is HTC's first NAND locked device preventing users to write to system and recovery under normal conditions.
2. This NAND lock can be defeated by inserting tattoo_hack.ko module. This module was created on taking the help of info from a leaked QualComm datasheet.
3. The module needs to be inserted prior to writing to system or flashing recovery.
4. The manual rooting method and Maveric/NTenisOT 1-click method flashes a custom boot.img after rooting so that the NAND remains unlocked everytime the device is used. On the other hand, Universal Androot unlocks the NAND temporarily while rooting and unrooting. If Androot is used, the device gets permanently rooted, but the NAND locks itself after a reboot, until Androot is used again or tattoo_hack is inserted.
5. Custom 1.6, 2.1, 2.2 roms have tattoo_hack added to their modules list to keep NAND unlocked while device is running. On 2.3, however, the unlock code is compiled into the kernel, so the module is not needed.
6. We deal with this module because no one has developed S-OFF for the Tattoo.
7. Most users forget about this module once their Tattoo is rooted. New users oversee this module and run into problems. The CyanogenMod wiki is misleading in 'How to root Tattoo' because of this.
Finally, please sticky this info if possible because I tell this to everyone who has rooting problems.
Thanks. I did everething just like you sad, but no luck.

Go to universal androot. Hit root again. Let it complete.
Then use Root Explorer and mount /system as rw. Or u ca also use Terminal Emulator. Just type these.
su
mount -o remount rw /system
Close terminal.
Go to ROM Manager. Tap Flash ClockWorkMod recovery. First it will take time. Let it successfully flash. Tap again. Let it flash. Tap again. Let it flash.
I am telling you to tap this many times. Because CWM 5.0.2.0 doesnt flash easily. I got so many failed flashes even on CM7. It only gets flashed after a couple of time.
Otherwise, hit menu button on ROM Manager, slect settings and check mark 'Erase recovery before flashing'. Go back and flash recovery twice.
Finally reboot manually. No need to use ROMManager's reboot option. I read that it works rather badly on Android 1.x. Boot with HOME+POWER.
Lemme know.
Btw, the safest method to flash recovery is NTenis's tool. Used it many times without problems because it flashes the boot to disable the write-protection.

ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 Seems to need 5 installs to work properly (and you granting access in the 3rd or 4th install). After that you can use the install from sd card option in rommanager!

[Q] ICS Rollback Question..

Hello guys,
I used the ics leaked rom for the Acer Iconia. And not i am stuck with it on my tablet.
I rooted it following a tutorial, and tried using clockworkmod but it always says "recovery verified failed" when i try to boot into recover using Volume+power.
I tried following a tutorial that i cant post the link to because of security here on the thread.
I get far enough to enter the CPUID but when i enter my Serial it is only 11 characters long when the EUU tool is asking for 16. I tried converting it to SBK but it still didnt work, just said wrong CPUID entered.
If anyone can please help me get ICS off my tablet and back to 3.2 or 3.1 i would greatly appreciate it!

Your UID number is not your serial number. If you had CWM installed, and a recovery backup made BEFORE you installed the leaked ICS, you should be able to find your original UID number on your Ext SD card in the Clockwork folder. Should be a file called UID.txt or similar.
At least I "assume" you made a recovery backup at one time or another.
If you don't have one, then you'll have to hopefully use ADB and push a new CWM recovery image to your tab. You can find more info on this procedure from the original developer (tegraowners)

One more thing to try. Install Acer Recovery and try to install a new CWM recovery image that way.
or
With ADB;
use adb (PC):
1. adb push recovery.img /sdcard
2. adb push itsmagic /data/local
You can get the recovery image at the original Dev's website I mentioned earlier.
Or, you can use RA Recovery, which is really good!

Did you try getting Acer Recovery Installer from the Market? And try installing a fresh CWM Recovery image? That would be the first thing to do I would think.
But if it doesn't work, then you will have to do:
You have to use ADB to "push" a recovery image.
Usually this has 2 things. Android SDK, the downloading the ADB drivers. If successfully installed, and your tab shows up in PC Device manager as ADB Device, then is simple to open an ADB shell and push the image and "it's magic" (just make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your tab)
There are plenty of guides on installing SDK and ADB.Anybody who messes with custom Roms, Rooting, and expecially installing leaked beta roms, needs to familiarize themselves with ADB.
Maybe i didnt make my question clear. I have tried the Acer Recovery but when it tries to but into the recovery i get "recover verified failed". I am familiar with ADB i have it up and running. I already had the android-sdk installed from development i do.
But i was asking when pushing the "recovery where to i place the recovery?
When i use adb push recover-ra-3.16-gmn.img /sdcard i get
"cannot stat: no such file or directory"
I was asking where do i place the files at to successfully push them using adb?

from terminal (TABLET): (thors CWM)
su
chmod 755 /data/local/itsmagic
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
mount -o ro,remount /system
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
./data/local/itsmagic
Thanks! So once i push the itsmagic and RA recover to my tab what do i do next?

According to Drellisdee, these are his instructions'
Install itsmagic:
1. Copy itsmagic somewhere to /data or /cache, and set chmod 755 to it.
adb push recovery-ra-iconia-3.13-gnm.img /sdcard
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-ra-iconia-3.13-gnm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync
reboot recovery
(I never used this method, I used the flash zip version.)

Other notes from the It's Magic Thread.
Flash a custom recovery:
1. dd the new recovery to mmcblk0p1:
e.g.
Code:
dd if=/mnt/external_sd/cwm.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
2. Call itsmagic
3. Reboot. Bootloader will do the rest
4. Boot into recovery and see if it works
5. Every time you change mmcblk0p1 or mmcblk0p2, itsmagic must be called again.
Pretty much the same as Drellisdee had.
When i try to "adb push recovery-ra-iconia-3.13-gnm.img /sdcard"
I get "File cannot be pushed: Is A Directory"
Any ideas?

Not a clue.
Try posting on Drellisdee's thread for the recovery. He's usually pretty good about answering. Or send him a PM. He should be able to fix you right up
Interesting, you are not the only one to mess up the recovery with the ICS leak. Saw a couple others lately, and they were both running CWM. You might want to look in Taboonay, Lightspeed, and Flexreaper thread. I think that's where I might have seen them. At least I think.

So try Acer Recovery, and use RA
hi guys i have been soo fustrated trying to roll my iconia back from the ics leak!

Hello guys,
I used the ics leaked rom for the Acer Iconia. And not i am stuck with it on my tablet.
I rooted it following a tutorial, and tried using clockworkmod but it always says "recovery verified failed" when i try to boot into recover using Volume+power.
I tried following a tutorial that i cant post the link to because of security here on the thread.
I get far enough to enter the CPUID but when i enter my Serial it is only 11 characters long when the EUU tool is asking for 16. I tried converting it to SBK but it still didnt work, just said wrong CPUID entered.
If anyone can please help me get ICS off my tablet and back to 3.2 or 3.1 i would greatly appreciate it!

How are you getting this serial # your using? Every method I have seen out there to roll back needs this cpuid#

I would suppose the "serial#" is the tabs serial number.
I know with RA recovery, the backup contains a UID.txt file. Not sure what would be in Clockwork. I don't have any to check, so not sure if clockwork keeps the UID number.

[Q] No access to recovery

Hello,
I plan to install a custom rom, and for that I followed all the tutorials on the web without success.
Using Acer recovery install, whatever the chosen recovery I get the error "recovery verified failed", and flashing the stock 4.03 recovery I have bugdroid lying.
Using AfterOta, it freezes at step 3/5 and Blackthund3r, it stuck stage two..
I have a bootloader and ICS 4.0.3 OTA maj.
If someone has an idea, I'd be grateful
Thanks !

Rooted?
Yes? use AcerRI to install any recovery.
Download thor200240/digetx CWM 1.7.3.zip here
Copy zip to SD card
Reboot to recover.
Install from zip file > Choose file from SD Card
Select the zip and install.
Reboot to recover if u see CWM 1.7.3 ur set.
Full Backup
Save your cpuid (In your CWM folder on your sd card inside the backup files u just made. Should be a text file named uid.txt or cpuid.txt.)
Copy any compatible rom onto your SD card
Wipe data, cache and dalvik
Flash your rom the same way u installed the .zip file.
Thank you for your response.
Yes, I'm rooted and I already tried Acer Recovery Install without success...
I get "recovery verified failed" (in red)...
tried all the recoveries in ARI?
use adb to install the zip then.

I tried all the recovery... And I don't know how to use adb :s can you quickly explain ?
use the platformer tool link below to use adb so u dont need sdk.
Follow instructions on platformer tool download page to set up your adb
open command prompt and navigate to your platformer
cmd commands:
view available directories: dir
change directory: cd (cd desktop (forward directory example) / cd .. (up directory example))
Use this guide to install with adb
cwm: here
platformer: here
Ok, I'll try later because I can't now and I tell you !
Thanks !!
make sure your rooted too, that could be causing the issue with ari..
download root checker from play store its free

I already checked, I'm rooted
Having the same issue.
I will also look into adb tool because I'm in the same boat. I did pretty much the same thing and am also stuck with the same error message and can't access the Recovery mode.
